The method for transmission of uplink control information according to the embodiment of the disclosure will be described below in conjunction with specific examples.

First Example (Corresponding to the First Set of Configuration Parameters)

The base station configures two sets of uci-OnPUSCH parameters and corresponding states {disable, enable} to the terminal through high-layer signaling. The ‘enable’ represents that the corresponding type of UCI is allowed to be transmitted on the corresponding type of PUSCH, and the ‘disable’ represents that the corresponding type of UCI is not allowed to be transmitted on the corresponding type of PUSCH. The two sets of uci-OnPUSCH parameters correspond to a new RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH and another RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH, respectively.

When the terminal receives the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI, the state corresponding to the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI is ‘enable’. When the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI is transmitted in slot n, if this PUSCH resource and the PUCCH resource for transmitting UCI overlap and the processing time meets the regulations, the terminal multiplexes the UCI to the PUSCH for transmission. Correspondingly, when the terminal receives the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI, the terminal does not transmit the UCI on the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI.

Second Example (Corresponding to the First Set of Configuration Parameters)

The base station configures four sets of uci-OnPUSCH parameters and corresponding states {disable, disable, enable, enable} to the terminal through high-layer signaling. PUSCHs are divided into two types, namely PUSCH type 1 and PUSCH type 2, and the above two types of PUSCHs correspond to a new RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH and another RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH, respectively. UCI type 1 and UCI type 2 correspond to UCI corresponding to PDSCH type 1 and UCI corresponding to PDSCH type 2, respectively. Corresponding to the above PUSCH types and UCI types, there are four situations, i.e., {PUSCH type 1, UCI type 1}, {PUSCH type 1, UCI type 2}, {PUSCH type 2, UCI type 1}, {PUSCH type 2, UCI type 2}, where the four situations correspond to the above four states respectively.

When the terminal receives the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI, the state corresponding to the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI is ‘disable’, and when the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI is transmitted in slot n, UCI with UCI type 1 and UCI with UCI type 2 are not allowed to be multiplexed to the PUSCH for transmission. When the terminal receives the DCI scrambled by another RNTI, the state corresponding to the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI is ‘enable’, and when the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI is transmitted in slot n, if this PUSCH resource and the PUCCH resource for transmitting UCI overlap and the processing time meets the regulations, the terminal may multiplex UCI with UCI type 1 or UCI type 2 to the PUSCH for transmission.

Third Example (Corresponding to the Second Set of Configuration Parameters)

The base station configures two sets of scaling parameters i.e., {0.5, 0.8} to the terminal through high-layer signaling. The two sets of scaling parameters correspond to a new RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH and another RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH, respectively. When the terminal receives the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI, the scaling parameter corresponding to the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI is 0.5, and when the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI is transmitted in slot n, the maximum number of REs assigned to UCI is

$0.5\times \sum _{l=l_0}^{N_{\mathrm{symb},\mathrm{all}}^{\mathrm{PUSCH}}-1}M_{\mathrm{sc}}^{UCI}\left(l\right).$

When the terminal receives the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI, the scaling parameter corresponding to the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI is 0.8, and when the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the another RNTIs is transmitted in slot n, the maximum number of REs assigned to UCI is

$0\mathrm{.8}\times \sum _{l=l_0}^{N_{\mathrm{symb},\mathrm{all}}^{\mathrm{PUSCH}}-1}M_{\mathrm{sc}}^{UCI}\left(l\right).$

Herein, M_sc^UCI(l) represents the number of REs available for UCI transmission on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol l.

Fourth Example (Corresponding to the Second Set of Configuration Parameters)

PUSCHs are divided into two types, i.e., PUSCH type 1 and PUSCH type 2; and PUSCH type 1 and PUSCH type 2 correspond to a new RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH and another RNTI for scrambling DCI for scheduling PUSCH, respectively. UCI is divided into two types, i.e., UCI type 1 and UCI type 2; and UCI type 1 and UCI type 2 correspond to UCI corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI and UCI corresponding to PDSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the another RNTI, respectively.

The base station configures four sets of scaling parameters, i.e., {0.5, 0.5, 0.8, 0.8} to the terminal through high-layer signaling, and the four sets of scaling parameters correspond to {PUSCH type 1, UCI type 1}, {PUSCH type 1, UCI type 2}, {PUSCH type 2. UCI type 1}, {PUSCH type 2, UCI type 2}, respectively. When the terminal receives the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI, the scaling parameter corresponding to the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI is 0.5, and when the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI scrambled by the new RNTI is transmitted in slot n, the maximum number of REs assigned for UCI type 1 and UCI type 2 is
